Large pieces of ice floating in water are called icebergs.
Iceberg or an ice sheet
An ice sheet is a large mass of glacial ice that covers land, while an iceberg is a large floating mass of ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf and is floating in the ocean. Ice sheets are stationary, while icebergs can drift with ocean currents.
Icebergs change size and shape constantly. When a fissure or crack develops and a portion breaks off it is called a floe. Changes in icebergs are determined by climate, pressure, force and temperature.
A floating piece of ice is called an iceberg if it is large and mostly submerged, or an ice floe if it is smaller and more flat or thin.
Large pieces of ice floating in water are called icebergs.
Chunks do not really mean something very small like most people may think,it could be a large particle or huge mass. Floating chunks of ice from ice sheets or ice shelves (land ice) are called "ICEBERGS", while large areas of floating sea ice are called "ICE FLOES".
Iceberg or an ice sheet
A large mass of ice, generally floating in the ocean.

An Iceberg.
A floe (ice floe) is the term we often apply to a mass or small field of floating ice.
Icebergs change size and shape constantly. When a fissure or crack develops and a portion breaks off it is called a floe. Changes in icebergs are determined by climate, pressure, force and temperature.
A lage chunk of ice floating in the water, most of it is in the water.
"Iceberg" is a compound word because it is formed by combining the words "ice" and "berg" to describe a large floating mass of ice detached from a glacier or ice sheet.
A large mass of snow and ice
- It is a large floating mass of ice, detatched from a glacier and carried out to the sea.- A massive floating body of icebroken from glacier. Only about 10 % of it's mass is above the surface of the water.- HOPE THIS HELPS :D - By aaron_98
